What about my comments on v1? Pasted again:

A register interface (or protocol) spec is never complete enough to
capture all the details about a specific h/w implementation. One just
has to go look at AHCI, EHCI, OHCI, XHCI, UFS, 8250, etc. bindings.
Let's not start with pretending that here. Fine for this to be a
fallback, but it must have a compatible for a specific implementation.

Also, which version of the spec does this compatible correspond to? Or
are there not HCI differences in the spec versions you mention in the
cover letter?
